  • The influence of some polymerization conditions on the morphology of poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) monoliths
    Krajnc, Peter, 1970-
    High internal phase emulsion (HIPE) precursors were used to prepare emulsions which were submitted to radical polymerization to yield poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) monolithic polymers. The ... morphology and mechanical properties of the resulting materials were studied in relation to selected polymerisation conditions. As the amount of diizovinylbenzene (crosslinking agent) was increased, 10 vs. 50%, the cell size in the porous structure of the material fell. The hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value of the surfactant used (sorbitan mono and/or trioleate) was found to be the crucial factor influencing the morphology: the lower HLB (from 4.3 to 3.5) surfactant resulted in smaller cells. Curing procedure (open vs. tightly closed containers) also affected the structure, viz., the latter case yielded more fragile and chalky polymers.
